It was nearly half past two on Saturday afternoon in Barcelona and from the flurry of texts from some of my Eagles supporting mates currently arriving on my phone, it’s quite clear that Palace have scored.

In the pre-season testing Paddock I, sadly, haven’t got a chance to look at the replays. No Sky Sports showing here, but judging by some of the comments, I really don’t want to see Aaron Cresswell’s miscued clearance in a hurry anyway.
